A man was brought to Mercy Hospital and taken in for coronary surgery. ① The operation went well and, as the groggy man regained consciousness, he was reassured by a Sister of Mercy, who was waiting by his bed.

“Mr Smith, you’re going to be just fine,” said the nun, gently patting his hand. “② We do need to know , however, how you intend to pay for your stay here. Are you covered by insurance?”
“No, I’m not,” the man whispered hoarsely.
“Can you pay in cash?” persisted the nun.
“I’m afraid I cannot, Sister.”
“Well, do you have any close relatives?”the nun essayed.
“Just my sister in New Mexico,” he volunteered.”But she’s a humble spinster nun.”
“Oh, I must correct you, Mr. Smith.Nuns are not ‘spinsters.’They are married to God.”
“Wonderful, “ said Smith. “③ In that case, please send the bill to my brother-in-law.”

1.手术进行的很顺利。当昏迷的男人渐渐醒来时，坐在床头的祥和的修女让他看着很安心。

2.我们想知道你打算如何支付住在这里的费用？你买了保险了吗？

3.那这样的话，请把我的支付单寄给我姐夫。

手术进展顺利，当他从昏迷中逐渐恢复意识时，看着床边一直陪伴他的护士，他感到十分安心。
尽管如此，我们需要知道，您打算怎么支付您的住院期间的费用。您有保险吗？
既然那样的话，那就请将账单寄给我姐夫吧。

这是个笑话，一个住院的人，在没有保险，付不出钱的情况下，智慧的回答了修女的疑问，因为修女们都是以上帝为伴，所以记账到她们的丈夫头上，实质就是空头支票
